When your head hits the pillow tonight, remind yourself that you've done a good job. You're headed down your path at your own pace & with every obstacle you are trying your best. Be patient with yourself & remember, big things are achieved not all at once, but one day at a time.

Oh please!!! WHEN will people wake up to #mentalhealth ?Parenting a child who is scared, depressed & anxious is bloody hard! NEVER judge parents! 🤬

What a beautiful day it is. I am so grateful to have another chance at life. I'm so glad I #NeverGiveUp and asked for the help I needed. My advice would be to speak to people and don't keep bottling things up. Speak out! I know it isn't easy but it helps. #MentalHealth #ECLCM ❤

When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control how you respond to what's happening. That's where your power is.

A friend just sent me this and I thought it was beautiful 💞 for any parent that needs it right now... #welcometoholland #AutismAwarenessWeek #AutismAwarenessMonth

We have to change this. I know Ben Ashcroft is doing a fab job with Fifty-One Moves, but he can't do it all. I have been following JasmineJ98's story about being 4 years homeless in Ireland after being in Care. I really hope someone there can help.

Throughout the day, stop & ask yourself, "What do I need right now?" If you're tired, rest. If you're overwhelmed, take a break. If your body's sore, stretch. Self-care is regularly checking in with yourself & honoring your needs, mind, body, & spirit. buff.ly/2MlrNMD

It doesn't cost anything to retweet other than 2 seconds of your time. I'm sure that's not to much for many. The battle within, a soldiers story is my memior about my struggles with mental illness. The battle within: a soldiers story amazon.co.uk/dp/1542314461/…

"Meeting a child’s aggression with adult aggression only adds fuel to the fire. To extinguish aggressive behavior meet it with calmness and compassion. Being calm isn’t passive—it’s mature. Be it to teach it." ~Rebecca Eanes

When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, NOT join their chaos.
